Before starting with ABAP on HANA you should have the eclipse or HANA studio installed on your system.

I Will be using eclipse in my blogs please google it out, the ABAP perspective must be installed in eclipse before you start you learnings, i will put out the links as well.

After the eclipse is installed with ABAP perspective it has to be connected to an ABAP system.

 

Then the system will ask you to choose a SAP System , if SAP GUI is already installed in your system, select the system and then go ahead and give the username and password it will get connected to eclipse. There is also an another option to give the details of the server i.e the same which you used to give while a new system in SAP GUI.

Once it is connected you will see a screen like this. Everything in eclipse has to be created under a project

Now create a new program in Eclipse by expanding the system libraries and select your package and right click and create a new program same as what you used to do in ABAP , save it and execute ( F8 still works to execute and Cntrl + F3 to activate ). I am not going on to show how you can do that spend some time and you will know how it can be done.Initially it might take some to get used to eclipse and the various control 🙂 .

The Outline view displays the internal structure of a program or class that is currently open in the ABAP source code editor.It will be in the bottom left of the screen and it will show you the structure of the program ( the same program how it will show like if u open it using SE80).

The below screen-shot shows how we can use the where used list in Eclipse
